The First and Only, All-In-One Filter, One Needle Device

FROG®, “Filter Removal of Glass,” is the first and only all-in-one package filter and hypodermic needle combined. Now, medical professionals have a streamlined, safer device that reduces risk of injury, patient death, healthcare costs, and waste, simultaneously improving efficiency, productivity, and patient care.

You should probably know…

The current process of preparing ampoule-based medication is difficult, time-consuming, and dangerous for both the patient and healthcare worker. When the neck of a glass ampoule is broken, the medication within becomes contaminated with glass shards. If the medication is not properly filtered prior to administration, it can lead to glass shards entering the blood stream. This can cause organ failure, internal bleeding, and even death.
